Chapter 668
Zhuo Nan and the others were still worried that there was news that the dignitaries wanted to catch the monkeys. Many people in the caravans who traveled around the world would know about it! Think about it, if that was the case, if someone found out that they had monkeys, it would be possible that someone in the caravan would have any ideas! If they could not catch the monkeys, could they send the news?
There are only six of them in total, and Shu is only seven! They are not afraid of fighting, but if there are too many people coming, what should I do if I use any tricks to trap them and hurt Shu? So, now, keep a low profile and slowly look at the situation! If it is a last resort, it is okay to act again!
Monkeys are sold to those high-ranking officials and nobles. So if someone in this caravan really catches the monkey, it is impossible to kill the monkey. As long as the monkey is not dead, they have a chance to save it, right?
Shu also understood these principles, so he could only look in the direction of the caravan with depression, silently chewing on the hare legs in his hand, filling his stomach, and then he got into the carriage.
As for Zhuo Nan and others, they immediately cleaned up everything after they had enough. Then they saw that the caravan was almost done, so they continued to follow the caravan and continued to move forward with a long line!
There were no monkeys in the carriage, and Shu seemed a little uncomfortable! He was thinking about whether the monkey was caught by the caravan, so Shu occasionally lifted the curtain and looked in the direction of the caravan.
But after about half an hour, Shu and the others still found nothing!
"Zhuo Nan, did you think that monkey ran to the nearby forest to play while we were resting?" Shu was a little worried now and couldn't help asking Zhuo Nan: "If it ran to the forest to play by itself, if we followed the caravan and could not find us when it went back, what would it do?"
"Is this unlikely?" Zhuo Nan thought for a while and said to Shu: "Miss, think about it! We were all barbecued at that time, but there were open spaces nearby! If the monkey left, someone would definitely see it! No one noticed it. That monkey could not have run so far, go to the forest!"’
You know, the forest closest to them was almost a mile away. How could the monkey not be discovered if he wanted to run into the forest from such a distance? But don’t forget that Zhuo Nan and Wen Yeyan’s subordinates were all good at kung fu, and their eyesight was stronger than ordinary people! They didn’t notice that the monkey could not go too far!
"That means that the monkey is gone, I can only suspect that I have gone to the caravan?" Shu thought for a while and asked Zhuo Nan in a low voice.
"This is the most likely!" Zhuo Nan nodded and said to Shu: "The closest to us was the caravan's convoy. It was possible that the monkey ran to the caravan with fun!"
Shu could only hold on to this idea.
The wheels rolled in and soon drove into a town. The people from Shangdu immediately rushed towards the direction of the city gate and wanted to enter the town, but were stopped by the officers and soldiers. Finally, they returned dejectedly, and shouted to continue setting off.
Shu watched the convoy drive away from the town in confusion, and as the plaque with the name of the town on the city tower became smaller and farther away, he asked Zhuo Nan and others: "Is it because the officers and soldiers didn't let us go into the town because there was also an epidemic in the town?"
"Yes!" One of Wen Yeyan's men nodded and said to Shu: "We just asked the people of the caravan! The soldiers guarding the city told them that the current epidemic control in the town is very good, so outsiders are not allowed to enter easily! They are caravans, and they will go in every town. They may not be lucky and someone will get infected with the epidemic. If they are allowed to enter the town, if the epidemic is brought in, no one can take this responsibility! So they are allowed to leave!"
Shu can understand it even if he thinks about it. If the town is well-off, if he lets a stranger in and brings the disease in, wouldn’t he cause trouble?
"It seems that the epidemic in the territory of Biyang should not be taken lightly!" Shu couldn't help but whisper, then looked at Wen Yeyan's subordinates and asked, "Then where should we find Mr. Wen and the others? What if we go to the big city you mentioned and cannot enter the city?"
"We can't go in openly, we can go in secret!" The five people under Wen Yeyan laughed and said to Shu: "Besides, if we really can't go in, we can also ask the soldiers guarding the city to send us a letter and ask people to come out to meet! As long as there is money, these things can be done easily!"
"That's good!" He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the caravan ahead, and then nodded and said, "Then let's continue to follow!"
Zhuo Nan and others nodded. The team walked until dark and finally found a place to camp.
Shu watched the caravan members light the lights and started preparing busyly. Then he looked at the bonfire rising in front of them and asked Zhuo Nan and others: "If there is no news about the monkey yet, can you go to the caravan's carriage in the middle of the night?"
"Okay!" Wen Yeyan's five men nodded immediately and said to Shu: "Don't worry, Doctor Shu Su, we will go and have a look after it!"
"Yeah!" Shu responded and stopped saying anything.
After walking for a day, many people in the caravan were exhausted. After eating early, everyone started to arrange the night watchmen and prepare to rest.
Shu was about to return to the carriage, and then he saw a few figures in the caravan walking towards them. When he could see clearly, he realized that the person who came was still the manager of the caravan who had spoken to her during the day.
"Girl!" The manager greeted Shu with a smile, glanced around Zhuo Nan and others, and nodded to everyone with a smile. Then he signaled to the person following behind him, held a few ingots of silver, and handed it to Shu: "I hope the girl can accept it with a little bit of my heart!"
"Uncle in charge, what does this mean?" Shu was stunned for a moment, looking puzzled.
The manager quickly smiled and said, "Miss, don't get me wrong, it's just that I want to ask the girl to help me!"
